A former hot food takeaway will be converted into a micropub under plans submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Council.

The application seeks to change the empty takeaway at 80 Westgate, Guisborough, into a micropub called Olive Or Twist.

The building, with a 43 square metre floor area, was last used as a takeaway in October 2017, the applicant says.

Proposed opening hours are from 10am-11.30pm, seven days a week.

A statement with the application says the opening hours would be similar to that of the previous business “but daytime use will be increased to create a ‘bistro-type’ culture - and additional tourist attraction.”
